aniston's quilt

Matt's sister had a baby girl 2 weeks ago, and as tradition has it, I make the nieces and nephews a baby quilt. Mindy did not know if her baby was a boy or a girl, so I couldn't do too much in advance with the whole quilt making thing. So I have been busy making a quilt and completely ignoring the fact that I have not done much Christmas shopping!

I finished the quilt top today and now comes the delicious backing, the quilting, and the binding. I know it is not finished, but with the top complete, maybe I can get to shopping for my children's Christmas presents!

I did decide that the buttonhole stitching kind of applique is not my favorite. I don't know what my favorite applique is, maybe I just am not a fan of applique at all!
